Waiting for the ferry
29 janvier 2022, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We stayed at Ngatitoa last night. We got the last usable spot as we didn't arrive till after ten. Up at 5.15am because the last report time was 7.15am and you don't want to be late. As it turned out the ferry was delayed by about an hour. At least we can put the kettle on and have a coffee!En savoir plus

Nice smooth crossing. Had the big breakfast on the ship - most enjoyable! The vehicle deck was full but there didn't seem to be that many people. A bit cool on deck in the strait but you expect that. Next time we'll do a late night crossing and get a cabin.En savoir plus

This place has changed. The jetty has been replaced and modernised and there are concrete boat ramps each side. Last time I was here was over ten years ago an there were huge eels everywhere under the jetty - maybe the crowd was too big and noisy today. Beautiful spot - will come back and stay at the DOC camp another time.En savoir plus

They have a place to park and take this photo as so many people do it. Both remember this spot - Karin was an adult but it was from Mark's childhood. Lots of one way bridges and a narrow part where there's obviously been a slip.En savoir plus

Westport North Beach

End of a long day. Staying at the NZMCA Park at North Beach. Time for bourbon...

On Sunday morning we did some walking and cycling on some single track. Karins having trouble with an injury so Mark did the longer track and ended up at the Buller Bar watching small boats catching fish and a ship come into Port. Don't get many days that flat on the Buller Bar - 8 memorial stones on the rocks tell that story.

Cheeky weka came inside several times looking for a feed. Must have smelt our bacon and eggs!En savoir plus

Denniston
30 janvier 2022, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Damn Denniston,
Damn the track,
Damn the way both there and back,
Damn the wind and damn the weather,
God damn Denniston altogether!

Great place to visit. Walked around the old sites and the buildings still standing. Met a couple both aged 95. They'd pass for 75. He'd just driven up that steep road in and they were walking around like young people. Very chatty and friendly.En savoir plus

Not the best day to see them - flat as a pancake ( so to speak!). Gorgeous weather so far. Stopped in our way to Hokitika for the night.

Just an overnight stay between Westport and Franz Josef. Had a look around town this morning before heading out on the Westland Road.

Jour 3
Franz Josef Glacier
31 janvier 2022, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
I remember the glacier being so much further down the valley. The change from when I was a child 50 years ago and then when I saw it again 30 and 10 years ago is staggering. Pleased to come here again but sad to see the retreat. The town is shut down and people are struggling with no foreign tourists. Saw two major hotels pretty much boarded up.En savoir plus
